Cant see BJS getting a decision against Canelo even if he does win enough rounds in the eyes of most. As good as he is, Canelo sums up everything I hate about boxing and the corruption involved. BJS is just a prick. Will def be an interesting match up though.
Well. We saw what happened when Mayweather won pretty much every round against Canelo in 2013. CJ Ross scoring it 113-113. Boxing judges are some of the most corrupt bastards about.
The under card isn't great but I'll be defo all over the main event. Good match-up stylistically on paper.

I'm guessing Billy Joe wants a bigger ring, which would make sense. He's going to use his legs and be the out-boxer. A smaller ring works in Canelo's favour.

I remember Klitschkos team tried a similar stunt before the fight with Fury when there was an extra layer of padding under the canvas which would have worked in Klitschkos favour. These gypos dont take any shite!

Haha. Yes.. The canvas was too soft which would've hindered Fury's movement.

Billy Joe Saunders should've been watching this fight during camp.
Pernell Whitaker showing what it's like being an out-boxer, mixing it up when needed, getting off first and getting off first out of the clinch. Also, turning his opponent in close proximity.
Chavez was 87-0 going into this fight. Sweet Pea was robbed also.
I'll be rooting for Saunders tonight. He has every chance to win this. But he will be against the judges too.

So BJS pulled out at the end of 8th after what looked quite a brutal injury to his eye socket. Ive only seen the highlights but it looked like he was doing ok up to that point so its a shame it had to end that way. Was always going to be a tough challenge against Canelo.

Broken his orbital bone by the looks, and from what i'm hearing through the media now. He was doing alright tbh prior to that. Fight was probably even, but Canelo has some pretty nasty power. He was probably juiced up before the fight.

Saunders had some success when he gave different looks and worked off the jab, but wasn't busy enough for me. Canelo is very strong at Middleweight. I can't see anyone from 160-168 beating him.
